Following our attaining sole control of CPL in Q1-24 and completion of the pulp mill disposals, the Pulp & Paper segment is comprised of our 100% interest in CPL and our 50%-owned joint operation, Alberta Newsprint Company. In light of the composition of the segment on a go-forward basis, the production and shipment volumes for all periods disclosed in the above table relate to those of NBSK pulp produced and shipped from CPL only and exclude BCTMP and UKP pulp amounts related to the disposed pulp mills.
The comparison versus comparative periods is impacted by the sale of Hinton pulp mill on February 3, 2024, the sale of Quesnel River Pulp mill and Slave Lake Pulp mill on April 20, 2024, and our attaining sole control of CPL in Q1-24.
Sales decreased compared to 2024 due primarily to the pulp mill disposals and lower NBSK product pricing, offset in part by higher NBSK shipment volumes.
NBSK production volumes increased from 2024 due to our attaining sole control of CPL in Q1-24 and less downtime taken in the current period.
Cost of products sold decreased versus 2024 due primarily to the impact of the pulp mill disposals, the weakening of the CAD against the USD, lower repairs and maintenance costs, the impact of higher production, and lower fibre costs. This was offset in part by higher NBSK shipment volumes and a $7 million unfavourable impact related to inventory valuation adjustments as product pricing declined during 2025.
Freight and other distribution costs decreased due to the pulp mill disposals, offset in part by higher NBSK shipment volumes.
Amortization expense and selling, general and administrative costs were broadly comparable with 2024.
We recorded an impairment loss of $3 million in 2024 upon completion of the pulp mill disposals.
Operating earnings for the Pulp & Paper Segment decreased by $3 million compared to 2024 due to the reasons explained above.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Pulp & Paper Segment decreased by $5 million compared to 2024 due to the reasons explained above.
